    NOTES:-
     
  • I've not bothered to type in the timing of the notes, but it's very
    easy to figure out just by listening to the CD; at least you'll know
    where to put your fingers...
  •  
    There are places in the song where there are minor variations, but I
    think it's nicer if you just put these in for yourself. Whatever Nick
  • Drake was at the time of Pink Moon, he certainly wasn't a
    perfectionist
    in terms of rigid guitar playing. Keep it sounding scruffy and loose
  • and
    you won't go far wrong.
